Very Sad News

[daftcockers]

Have been working up to writing this and having just cried on a few shoulders here goes. On Friday we had to have our Alfie our first cocker put to sleep he was only 4 years old. The vet  after being told what had happened the night before and seeing our baby was 99% sure he had had a brain heamorage, and advised us it would be best for him to go peacefully. This was the hardest thing we have ever had to do.

I aplogise to every I met on Sunday for not telling you, but I just couldnt talk about it and found it easier to put on a brave face.

I do believe that Alfie was looking over Paris  when she was in the ring and was placed. (well I like to think that).

Thankyou to everyone who has let me cry on their shoulder Joan, Nikki Poos and Topaz Billy.

I'm so sorry to hear your news Susan - it must be heartbreaking to lose Alfie at such a young age :cry: Sometimes life can be so cruel I still don't find it easy to talk about Katie who we lost last year so can well imagine what you're going through now. It does get better in time & one day you'll be able to remember the happy times without feeling so sad.

Thinking of you all

That's so sad. Am really sorry to hear this news. I can really understand about not wanting to tell everyone sometimes about this sort of thing as it can be so upsetting. Just think though he's running free at the bridge.

Penny :cry:

Susan, I have to admit to shedding a tear or two myself when reading your post.
I have great empathy with you, I too had to make that terrible decision four years ago with my Lakeland Terrier. He had suffered with Colitis for over twelve months and there came a time when his quality of life was starting to be affected.
The decision was a tough one for I loved Corky dearly, I wanted him to live forever, but I also new I could not allow myself to let Corky live in pain.
We had such memorable times together, but time does heal and now we have Buster who is just adorable.
Whatever you do, please do not beat yourself up over the tough decision you had to make. I did and it took me much longer than it should have done before I felt ready to offer a new dog a loving home.
My thought are with you.
MIke.

I don't really know what to say Susan :cry:  It must be heartbreaking to lose them at a young age but I like the idea that he was looking over you and Paris - just hold on to that thought and hopefully it will help get you through this very sad time.  I'll be thinking of you all today :cry:

Sorry to hear your sad news :cry: .  It's hard enough to say goodbye when they are old and have had a long life but it must be heartbreaking to lose a dog so young.  It is a brave thing that you did.  You're in our thoughts .
